Over 29 million Americans will struggle with an eating disorder in their lifetime. For decades, The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness (The Alliance) has been a beacon of hope, providing education, support, and resources for all individuals affected.

A Registered Dietitian specializing in eating disorders is a critical part of the multidisciplinary recovery team. Yet, finding and affording this specialized care is one of the biggest barriers to healing.

That is why Fay is honored to announce our partnership with The Alliance. Together, we are committed to dismantling these barriers and expanding the pathway to recovery by making expert, specialized nutrition care accessible and affordable.

The Barrier to Recovery: A Critical Gap in Care

The Alliance has long been dedicated to connecting individuals with the help they need, but for too long, the healthcare system has presented two major obstacles - access and cost.

Finding a provider who truly specializes in the complexities of nutritional rehabilitation for eating disorders is a challenge. Even when an individual finds the right specialist, this essential, long-term care is often prohibitively expensive, with many providers not accepting insurance.

This is not a "diet plan." This is essential, specialized medical nutrition therapy focused on restoring health, challenging disordered eating patterns, and rebuilding a safe, trusting relationship with food. No one should be denied this essential care because they can't find or afford a specialist.

Why This Partnership Matters: A Direct Path to Specialized, Insured Care

Our partnership is designed to directly solve this problem. The Alliance provides the vital community, education, and support that individuals and families need. Now, they can also provide a direct pathway to the specialized care required for recovery.

Fay’s network directly supports The Alliance's mission by connecting their community to:

  1. True Specialists: Our network includes hundreds of Registered Dietitians who are vetted experts in eating disorder treatment, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder (BED), ARFID, and more.
  2. Care Covered by Insurance: Fay’s platform handles the entire process of verifying insurance benefits and matching an individual with the right eating disorder specialist in their network.

This collaboration provides a tangible, affordable next step for individuals in The Alliance's community, turning the hope for recovery into an actionable plan.

Looking Ahead: A Future Where Recovery is Possible for All

Our work with The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness is a deep commitment to a future where everyone who needs help can get it. Recovery is possible. We are proud to work alongside The Alliance to champion this message and provide the tangible, accessible specialized care to make it a reality.
